These externalities e mainly through technology spillover effects and the technology es from outside the country through FDI. In terms of major conclusions, the first is that growth in poorer regions es about through a process of technological imitation where the technology itself is brought by FDI. Second, trade is highly significant and shows a positive effect on growth. Learning to produce for the international market seems to be an important growth driving mechanism through international integration. Third, domestic physical capital is a major determinant of growth. Where this capital or more properly where the funds for the investment that the capital represents e from matters. If savings within a province provide the source for investment in that province, then there is no interprovincial growth conflict. But if it es from another province, there is and divergence can be a result. Fourth, better education at the secondary level improves the process of industrialization. Qualified workers with intermediate skill level have the ability to work in production plants with high productivity. Hence increasing human capital per capita affects economic output in the sense that it leads to higher productivity. Fifth, good governance in a province is inextricably linked to its petitiveness and that the quality of institutions has a positive effect on economic growth. High collinearity of marketisation with FDI suggests that FDI are attracted by marketisation and a bundle of ponents consist
